Desert Nomad Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Valverde pished the Mur de Huy in Fleche Wallonne yesterday. All too easy for him, and pretty boring to watch. Landis ridiculous today at Trentino, closed down about 15 attacks on the final climb. He'll walk the Giro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Landa takes Trentino by 2 secs from Kangert. Turkey starts on Eurosport today. L-B-L tomorrow, for the climax to the classics season. Croatia on Eurosport too, disapointed in Arradondo of Trek. For a noted Colombian climber, it was a MTF yesterday & he wasn't at the races.

Bishop Briggs Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Sergio Heneao withdrawn from racing over queries about his bio Passport from 11-15. This sounds serious given that Sky withdrew Henao two years ago after his BP looked dodgy. They declared him clean after an "internal investigation" into the effect of altitude on his blood values. Tiernan-Locke was busted for EPO after a lengthy investigation into his BP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, he's not lived up to expectations in the years quoted, yet hit a bit form this season! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgow-sheep Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Simon Yates found to have used a banned substance, terbutaline which is a bronchodilator inhaler used for treatment of asthma. Sounds like a paper work f**k up, not the kind of thing you'd risk your career for by taking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Some amount of asthmatics in the pro-peleton. Just had exactly the same thought when I was listening to the sports news on the way home from work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

printer Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Down in Settle and was at the finishing line for the Tour de Yorkshire stage 1. Two hours in the cold and rain for twenty seconds action, but it was brilliant. Great atmosphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze Ken Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Some amount of asthmatics in the pro-peleton. Bit like all those top Russian and Eastern European athletes with heart problems. 1 in 10 baseball players have been "diagnosed" with ADHD. It's the same in all sports; why risk a ban when you can just get a TUE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Before it starts, I'm going for Landa, Uran, Maijka, 1-2-3. Valverde & Nibbles to miss out on a podium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Ken Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The parcours is pretty flat, on the whole, and despite a couple of hilly stages towards the back end, I don't think its one that can whittle out the bigger riders, so I've stuck a couple of quid on Tom Dumoulin. The fact there's 3 ITTs (despite one being uphill) only confirms my feeling that this isn't a race that needs to be won in the mountains. His only competition is really Nibali and Valverde. Hopefully the race lives up to billing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Bizarre crash in 4 Days of Dunkirk. Moto took wrong turn at a r/bout, realised, started to turn, then was hit by a couple of riders, ploughing into him, who'd followed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
